The Wood and the Stone

Description:
St. Vincent De Paul welcomes Gerard and Mary Chiusano.
Whether the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, or a failed marriage, those who grieve can find hope in the impossible.
During The Wood and the Stone retreat, Gerard and Mary Chiusano will lead a journey of awakening to the love of God, and of calming the restlessness of the human heart for the Divine heart. Through music, reflections and guided meditations, participants will be invited into the Paschal Mystery, and into a life of hope. Participants receive a prayer book which both accompanies the evening, and provides continued prayer and reflections for eight weeks following the event.
The Wood and the Stone refers to the perceived failure of the cross, the coldness and desolation of the stone-closed tomb, and the healing that comes with the Resurrection. The Paschal Mystery is central to our faith, and thus we who grieve find hope and comfort in the impossible, Christ’s Resurrection from the dead. Thus, the wood no longer binds us, and the stone rolls away, allowing us to abandon the tomb and find life beyond our grief.
